recorded call saying that they are from the irs and that they will take legal action if you don't return call! This is a scam**** caller ID said new york
I had the same thing happen but the funny thing was they asked for Mr. (My common law wifes last name) and everything is registered under my name. When asked about any info on my computer who ever the woman that called was said she had no info. She asked me to put in a command to check the events my computer has run. I had time so I played along. Anyways the call was so bad she was telling me that one event was a hacker in my computer when it really was a google update. It was hard to keep from laughing at that point. So anyways just please be careful. The number that called me was 6077239891
This scam has spread to Vancouver BC. They just called me and and said they were from Microsoft and that i had a virus and that they would fix it for free. I asked them if they were from a charity because no one does things for free. After a little pause the guy with a very heavy Indian accent said the service was free. I pretended to follow his instructions, never entered anything into my computer. After i asked if i can call them back to verify the info he gave me a tel ph number 50 59089506 and said he was calling from UK. I started to laugh and told him it was impossible since area code for UK is 44, told him he was a scammer and hung up on him. This is the second time since May that they called me. Be aware. Those people are trained to get what they want and some people may really fall for their scam
They are still out there. I got a phone call from a female wanting to fix the errors on my computer, and that they were seeing a lot of errors. She initially said Windows support team, but had a different company name. This phone number is from New York area, but the girl sounded Indian or Pakistani. Looks like phishing to get onto computers and plant bugs.
They told me that my computer was corrupted. They were from windows service centre. Told them never to call again or ill report them. They hung up on me.
What a bunch of _ss_oles....you fill in the missing letters.
Took me 5 minutes to even understand who was calling me, their english was VERY poor. Same deal, calling with Windows......seriously buddy? You mean the software on my hardware has it's own call centre and they are calling me personally....WOW!........bunch of idiots. I asked him which IP address he was calling about, or which computer in our house he was calling about......no answer.......kept wanting me to run an admin file, yeah right, like I am going to give you admin access to my system!
What a waste of time!!!!
